Engineer who came up through sales
Two careers stacked back-to-back — six years of sales leadership before five years in production engineering. The combination is the point.
I'm Andrew Wendling — a full-stack software engineer living in Spanish Fort, Alabama. I write Laravel and Vue on the backend, React and Next.js on the frontend, and own everything in between when the situation calls for it.
My most recent work is MONISCOPE, a multi-tenant SaaS platform for the self-storage industry that I'm building solo as both engineer and product owner. It has 1,850+ automated tests, a yield pricing engine, two-way SMS, a 9-stage delinquency state machine modeled on Alabama lien law, and AI-assisted features through the Anthropic API. Before that I spent three years at FutureShirts contributing extensively to an internal ERP that processes 200,000+ packages a year across 55+ artist storefronts.
Before any of the engineering, I spent six years selling — top 3% nationally at AT&T, top 5% district at T-Mobile (where I led a team of 8), and two stores under my management at uBreakiFix. That background is why I'm specifically building toward Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, and Customer Success Manager roles. I already speak both languages.
Six years of revenue ownership before I shipped my first commit
This is a deliberate part of the pitch — not a footnote. SE and CSM hires almost always need this exact path.
